Set to debut properly at this week's Geneva motor show, the Kia Provo Concept is a boxy hatch with echoes of Mini styling.
The Provo looks aimed squarely at the youth market, with styled-up alloy wheels filling huge wheel arches, single-span headlight and taillight clusters, and orange accents set of with an orange roof panel.
The interior gets swathes of quilted leather -- including across the centre console -- a flat-bottomed steering wheel and chrome and carbon-fibre accents.
Expect little of that to make it into production, but it does point to Kia testing the waters for a performance hatch -- and with stablemate-parent Hyundai having seen some success with the three-doored Veloster hatch, a similar car would add more youth profile for Kia.
